fluid amount for transmission and torque converter

Just installed my new Georend TC. How much atf+4 to fill the trans and converter? And how much to the transfer case, as that's drained also. I searched, but none of the answers specified that the amount included the torque converter. Thanks.

My tranny took 17 qts when totally dry.
T-case takes about 4.

I've been using Dexron III in my tranny and t-case for last 200k miles as recommended by DTT , no problem.
99¢/qt for Valvoline brand at Walmart sure beats what they want for +3 or +4.
Got to remember +3 and +4 are Chrysler products that weren't even invented when these trannies first came out.

My local dealer will fill my jugs out of their atf+4 drum for way cheaper than buying packaged gallons or quarts. worth looking into if you want to use atf+4

Dave from Goerend said they use Dextron 3 with Napa additive part 765-2603, so that is what I will use. Half the price of ATF+4 at my local NAPA.
